Surprise Encounter on Revered Champions of Azeroth Quest

After reaching a new reputation level with the Champions of Azeroth faction, players complete a short quest and upgrade the Cuore di Azeroth another +15 ilvls. For the quest unlocked at Revered, Sala del Cuore, we have a surprise encounter--and it's not good.\r\r\r\rAt first, Magni is pretty optimistic about the Chamber of Heart:\rThe Chamber of Heart sure looks better than the last time ye were here, eh?\rWithin this chamber, the Heart of Azeroth ye hold can grow even mightier!\rEven now I can...Hang on, what is that?\r\rOur Heart of Azeroth is so strong, we've attracted the attention of the Old Gods! A delicious void portal appears and a minion, called That Which Hungers, threatens us:\rThe master hungers...the Heart shall feed his waking dream...\r\rMagni tells us to use the Heart to drive it away:\rA minion o' the Old Gods! The Heart of Azeroth is strong enough tae drive it out! Use the Heart.\r\rWe use the Heart, but the minion has some parting words for us:\rYou will falter...he rises...he rises...\r\rHere's what the Scatola Rompicapo di Yogg-Saron has to say about dreams:\rHave you had the dream again? A black goat with seven eyes that watches from the outside.\rIn the sunken city, he lays dreaming.\rDo you dream while you sleep or is it an escape from the horrors of reality?\r\rWe also can't forget about this whisper of Il'gynoth:\rThe King of Diamonds has been made a pawn.\r\rEarlier today, Blizzard unveiled the Warbringers: Azshara cinematic, which provides our first in-game look at N'Zoth and the deal he makes with Azshara. While Blizzard keeps saying this is a faction war, the involvement of the Old Gods is looking pretty strong. \r\rIt seems our Heart of Azeroth might be doing more evil than good. The Alliance and Horde started fighting over Azerite, and Lady Ashvane, one of the Kul Tiras villains, manufactures Azerite--not to mention she wears a gigantic pendant of Azerite. Perhaps the Old Gods are thrilled we're obsessing over Azerite, falling into their master plan to grow stronger and reclaim the Black Empire.\r\r\rDid you enjoy this news article?

Pretty cool. I think this lines up with what most people expected from BfA - that it would evolve into being more about old gods than faction conflict.\r\rHowever, I did not think that would happen in the third week of the expansion..

We see void stuff every couple of weeks since the beginning of Legion. We probably won't see anything more before the Azshara raid comes out, except the cinematic of uldir.

As predicted by so many before, Azerite is like the new Saronite, becoming a channel for Old Gods. We all expected N'zath to show up and do harm, Nazjatar is likely going to be the second or last continent of this expansion where we challenge Azshara and N'zath.

To be fair, it was completely Blizzard's decision to release Warbringers: Azshara early in the expansion, and I think it's just a coincidence that the news about this quest happened to come out on the same day. Like you said, we're still VERY early in the expansion so I assume that only a relatively small number of players who rushed to 120 and have been doing every single world quest with a Champions of Azeroth contract up have gotten to this quest at this point. Without them we probably wouldn't have seen this for another week or two at least.

I assumed we'd end up in Nazjatar during a raid and\/or some later dungeons, but I actually really like the idea of it as a max-level zone. Would also explain why the diving suit and helmet were added to leatherworking even though we don't currently have any underwater content, and why the Great Sea Ray mount is both relatively easy to farm and not BoP...

I thought being 7k+ into honored was good. Had no idea people could already be revered. And I started day one!

Blizz actually has Azshara slated for the 2nd tier boss of the xpac. So unless they are having two tiers in the same area I think it will be a bit different.

Concur I am 9K into Honored and basically did every WQ since hitting 120, skipping pet battles and cooking. I even have Champions of Azeroth as my contract.

I personally think that's about Sylvanus and all this stuff started happening when she touched the Azerite. Just speculation though

Didn't this happen on Beta at one point? I remember teleporting to see Magni in a chamber from the Great Seal and dealing with shadowy horrors and some giant creature.\r\rAt the same time, I could be mashing two things together.

They had the better part of a year of \u201cfree war marketing\u201d by aiming the players at each other and teasing the first of many themes, that being the faction conflict. After this year of fantasy nationalist forum bickering they are more than within their rights to move on to the themes that will work to cool that rage so we can move to the real purpose of BFA: Giving a lore reason for faction agnostic PVE grouping.

Obviously anything that thinks they are powerful enough would think "lesser" races gathering, refining, harnessing azerite would be beneficial. After all they are arrogant enough to think they can step in and crush those lesser races. Which leaves the stockpiled azerite easy pickings. This is still a faction war at heart and I hope Blizzard stays true to that theme. They don't have to let the old gods become the end game but instead a third faction involved in the dispute. Hoping to profit off the horde and alliance conflict but getting torn asunder between the clash.

Another monster to be put into ground and loot received in the process. Good.\rP.S.\rIf the faction war will end up being caused by Old Gods, I will laugh at Blizzard.

I certainly hope we don't get an underwater zone, the complaints will be ceaseless. If it's needed for flight in zandalar and kul tiras, rip WoW as the exodus will be worse then that of WoD. Then again it will likely be the last place and we get a broken shore 2.0 where we get our flight.

People need to stop taking what Old Gods say as gospel, they are Old Gods. Deceiving is what they do. If you think Magni is going to turn out to be evil or was duped into thinking he was actually working directly for Azeroth I think you're pretty far off the mark. Of course the Old Gods are going to use this opportunity where Azeroth is in a weakened state to strike.\r\rBlizz actually has Azshara slated for the 2nd tier boss of the xpac. So unless they are having two tiers in the same area I think it will be a bit different.\rThey said second raid at Blizzcon 2017, not tier. Just because tier gear changed doesn't mean raid schemes did. Uldir is just the beginner ez mode raid of the expansion, also specifically stated at Blizzcon 2017 that it is the "Highmaul of the expansion". Azshara is set to be the final boss of the 2nd (but first major) raid of the expansion. That story is already advancing very subtly in Zandalar and much more openly on the Alliance side of things on Kul Tiras. \r\rObviously anything that thinks they are powerful enough would think "lesser" races gathering, refining, harnessing azerite would be beneficial. After all they are arrogant enough to think they can step in and crush those lesser races. Which leaves the stockpiled azerite easy pickings. This is still a faction war at heart and I hope Blizzard stays true to that theme. They don't have to let the old gods become the end game but instead a third faction involved in the dispute. Hoping to profit off the horde and alliance conflict but getting torn asunder between the clash.\rBattle for Azeroth from the start was clearly not just about faction war, it's an obvious double entrada. The major conflict of WOW is that the Void Lords are trying to corrupt a Titan so that they can manifest into the material universe, this is what they made the Old Gods for, to corrupt worlds that contained a Titan World Soul so they could achieve this and discovering this is what drove Sargeras mad. Sargeras' plan since then was to prevent this from happening by destroying all Titan-World Souls and life in the universe. \r\r\rWe defeated Sargeras only for him to seriously wound Azeroth, what did you think was going to happen? That the major story was going to just pause? We're not just fighting a faction war, that's the backdrop, the actual main story is fighting to save Azeroth herself. If anything the faction war is helping the other thing become reality because the factions are using azerite for their own agenda.

The whispers of the Old Gods are fake and have no effect on mortal minds.

The 'ring of stars' that was in the whispers that people look in the sky for, what about the seal we repair when we get the heart of azeroth?
